Ureta\n \n \n\n \nIt is not possible to understand the crisis in the modern Catholic Church, much less see how it might be overcome, without a critical understanding of the ecclesial current known as ultramontanism. Originating with nineteenth-century conservatives rallying to the anti-Liberalism of Pius IX, it developed over time into a hyperpapalism that weakened subsidiarity, stifled local custom, and dismantled tradition, until with Pope Francis it has morphed into a veritable engine of progressivism.\n \n \n\n \nWhat are the historical, theological, and cultural causes of this complex phenomenon-at once a quasi-doctrine, an attitude, and a political regime? Is an ultramontanist papacy the source of our ills or their only possible remedy (or perhaps both, since the corruption of the best is the worst)? Might there be a spirit of Vatican I as harmful, in its own way, as the later and rightly denigrated spirit of Vatican II? Can a pope be a heretic, and what, if anything, may be done when such an evil confronts the Church? What is the relationship between moral authority and coercive power? Between papacy and episcopacy? Between legal positivism, blind obedience, and clerical abuse (sexual and otherwise)? In the face of pontifical monarchy, do churches sui iuris, organized communities, subordinate rulers, baptized faithful, immemorial traditions, time-honored liturgies, (still) enjoy their own inviolable rights?\n \n \n\n \nThese and related questions are deftly addressed by twenty-six scholars in an anthology of the best of conservative and traditional writing on these controversial topics.\n
